Hip and Back pain?

I am a 47yo male with Klinefelter Syndrome. I take Testosterone but only for about 5 years now. I have had lower back strain and it comes and goes. Recently I thought I hurt my back, but as it has lessened I am noticing it is more in my right hip. It seems though that about everyone of my brothers and sisters all have some hip pain. My older brother broke his hip 40 years ago and his pain was in his knee and recently (10 years ago) had a hip replacement. My older sister also had her hip replaced. My younger sister has had hip problems too.

My question, who should I see about this first? My primary doctor, seek out an ortho?
